In reply to the discussion: As a scientifically minded person. The propensity for the left to go for "woo"... [View all]nadinbrzezinski
(154,021 posts)but I also know science is a constantly changing entity. Hell, some of my best friends are in the sciences and have no use for God.
That said, we are also starting to understand that God might be critical for species survival, even if at this point it might be mal adaptive. And that yes, there is something called the God Particle. (Speaking of weird stuff to rival the holographic universe)
No, my theory is more basic than that, and it includes plenty of very religious people who have literal cows when changes occur in religion. See the uber conservative catholics and Pope Francis for example. People are used to things just the way they are, and change is uncomfortable. So while they claim that science is great and needs to be understood, they also know everything, meaning all that is within comfortable edges. So once these same crazy scientists start going into areas that are on the edge, NOOO, that gotta be WOO. It is a reaction to change. I hope I never lose my sheer amazement at all that we know, but chiefly all that we really don't.
The more you learn, the more you know you don't know.
